A Dose of Color

Wednesday, September 28, 2016

I have this thing with color. Fred & I are currently on the hunt for an apartment, so we've been eyeing furniture & interior design options. I was looking at color swatches & found myself feeling incredibly inspired by how certain colors went together so harmoniously. Due to my newfound feeling of genius, I'm starting a series of photos & their respective color swatches.

Flowering Succulent

Blue Skies

How do I do it? I find photos from my collection that I'm drawn to. I then use the Eyedropper Tool in Photoshop to define particular colors throughout the photograph. Creating these little color swatches gives me so much joy. It's hard to articulate or identify why I get a kick out of this process.

Strawberry Cake

The Tower

I posted a couple swatches to my Facebook to test the waters. One of my friends said she loved the neutrality of the tower. Another said he liked the soothing tones of the flowering succulent. I'd love for you to let me know which photo is your favorite & which color palette is your favorite. Are they both from the same set or are they different? :]

What a fab idea - these photos are lovely and the swatches are a great idea to use for getting nice decorating colours! I love the tranquility of the Blue Skies picture but love the vibrancy of the Strawberry cake one!

This is so satisfying to look at. Thank you so much for doing this!! The only one I don´t find to calming to look at is the third one with the cake. The others are absolutely perfect though & made me feel really calm.xx Lisa | Following Lisa

That is such a cool and innovative idea! How come I never thought of doing this? Seeing just the swatches of the colour isn't very inspiring and it's hard to imagine how they will look in real life, therefore, the photos definitely have a vision in them & it's easier to visualize the room if you see the picture! How amazing!
